@onamission I read this link and am amazed by the benefits to my cornea. I found the top 10 Quercetin products. I am already taking ample supplements...why not one more. What brand do you recommend? Have you personally used Quercetin?
Thanks,
Rachel

Hi Girls and anyone interested, I have dry eyes as well so have been using a tiny (grain of rice or smaller) blob of lubricating eye ointment at night. I was told to make sure it has either castor oil or mineral oil in it, the higher percent the better. The one I'm using now is Soothe Lubricant Eye Ointment made my Bausch and Lomb but I thought Walgreen's own brand had a higher percent of those oils than what I'm using. It's almost impossible to see once it's in, so be sure to wait until you're in bed and ready to sleep. You can blink and blot it out if necessary. I have been able to make it to the bathroom in the dark but it's more difficult. It really works! BTW, for those of you who use a C-Pap and have dry eyes, my husband has recently begun to use a sleep mask and those symptoms have disappeared! Often the air from the C-PAP or A-PAP can blow into the eyes at night. Also, we blink less when we sleep so thus can have dryer eyes in the mornings. If I understood that correctly. I also use Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Complete Optimal Dry Eye Relief which also has mineral oil in it, during the day. I find a little problem (sting) that I think is from the preservatives. Hope this helps in some significant way. Warmest regards, Sunny (too lazy to type the "flower" LOL! Okay, truth be told, can't see well and more time, more eye strain, more pain!

Rachel, it seems quercetin is becoming a Swiss Army knife in the number of things it can do.The supplement MRM Quercetin 500 is worth checking out. Quercetin does not desolve in water and needs to be taken during a meal to increase it's availability, I've attached two links. One contains a range of areas quercetin provides benefits and the other how it together with liposomal vitamin c assists in recovering from covid-19.
